  1. I usually just turn the air on full blast and make sure that you have it on outside air. Then spray lysol in the ducts under the hood beneath the windshield wipers.
  2. We need more info than that. Do you know how to read the codes? if not here's a link to how you do it. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/intro/codereading.html
  3. Not my write up but your welcome. I agree with landar. You might want to be proactive on the capacitor issue. All the info is in the linked thread. Just take your time and read.
  4. Easy fix though it could be costly. Glad you got it worked out.
  5. Have you thought about the ECU capacitor fix? http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls400/656360-all-my-crazy-lexus-issues-solved-ecu-leaking-capacitor.html
  6. I'm guessing that you provided a link but I don't see it Billy.
  7. I've read that some ppl use the Moog outer tie rod ends with no problem. I actually have them sitting in my Amazon cart for when I'm ready to order them.
  8. I have lowering springs on my car so no coilovers for me but I've read enough threads about them.
  9. It will be pretty obvious once you take a look at it.
  10. Coils or spring/shock combo from 89-94 will fit the 95-00 models but coils or spring/shock made specifically for the 95-00 vehicles are not backward compatible with the 89-94 models. There are plenty of threads discussing this issue if you do a google search though.
  11. No problem come back if you have any other questions.
  12. Being that your in Hawaii getting parts might be an issue as far as cost. Any used air strut you buy will most likely be on borrowed time. You don't want to buy one and then another one goes out. That can add up quickly. I would just swap them out for coils or spring/shock combo and be done with it. here are some tutorials. http://www.lextreme.com/ascon.htm http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls400/565592-diy-90-94-ls400-front-air-suspension-removal-air-struts.html conversion kit https://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LEXUS_yid7_pid46.html http://www.strutmasters.com/products/1990-2000-lexus-ls400-4-wheel-air-suspension-conversion-kit-tc14f/ Or you can just go with the stock shock spring combo. There are multiple options.
  13. i deleted your other thread since your basically asking the same question.
  14. Not a terribly hard job if your the least bit mechanically inclined. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls400/153536-diy-guide-for-lower-ball-joints.html http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/18208-how-to-replace-front-lower-ball-joint/
  15. I have to agree with paul on the www.car-part.com search.
  16. I believe the door speakers power the tweeters so they should work in unison.
  17. 1990LS400 is the most knowledgeable on this subject IMO. There was another guy that gave good instructions though. This is the wiring I did, I used a 6 pin harness for everything but the speakers wires for easy servicing, for the speakers I used an RCA cable that I've cut in half and soldered to the 8 wires (make sure you respect polarity) on the B plug Battery 12v (B+ Cyan_Blue/Yellow on C1) Accessory (ACC grey on C6) Ground (GND2 brown on C14) Power Antenna (ANT+ Black/Red on C12) Amp remote (AMP+ Pink/Cyan on B11) FL Speaker (+) BLACK (B2) to RCA FL Speaker (-) WHITE (B7) to RCA FR Speaker (+) WHITE (B1) to RCA FR Speaker (-) RED (B6) to RCA RL Speaker (+) RED (B5) to RCA RL Speaker (-) GREEN (B14) to RCA RR Speaker (+) YELLOW (B4) to RCA RR Speaker (-) GREEN (B13) to RCA Wait... where's the sub signal??? There's none, everything is happening at the amp. The amp is using the signal from FL,FR,RL,RR and feed the sub with it, but the way it work is that it high pass the signal for the doors (~100Hz) and low pass the signal for the sub. When I started the system after replacing the HU in mine, I didn't have any sub. Went into my deck settings and removed the HPF (High pass filter) that was set at 120Hz. Bam! I can hear the sub, go into my EQ and boost 60Hz and the car is shaking. Basically all the bass knob on the deck was doing is to boost or lower the lower frequency and only the sub is affected because of the LPF and HPF that is set in the amp. Now for those who want more punch out of their system, you need to bypass the the nak amp before replacing speakers in your doors. Since there's an HPF set in the Nak amp, even if you put 8" in your doors you wont get much more midbass out of them. If you already did this and you can't hear your sub, here's some things to check. First make sure your RCA output are set to fullrange (no HPF) in your headunit. Some HU will automatically set an HPF if the sub is enable so check that too. Next, check that you respected the polarity on all RCA, if you have one inverted it will cancel out (phase inverted) the sub since all channels go to one speaker. To see if that's your problem, simply set the balance to one side and do the same for the fader so that only one speaker play. Crank the lowest EQ settings you have (ideally 80Hz or less) and you should hear the sub. HTH
  18. You can order parts from Lexus Of South Atlanta. I use them all the time. It looks like they have manuals at books4cars.com http://books4cars.com/listings.php?findmake=Lexus&model=LS400&year=1992&type=Shop
  19. I actually Downloaded and printed out my manual from that site years ago. I have 2 encyclopedia thick volumes. I see the complete manuals on ebay for $199 that are used.
  20. was about to rcommend this while reading your post #106 and scrolled down and see that you figured it out already. This is the reason why you have to put it at the 50 degrees past TDC mark.
  21. It sure looks like one. I think I read about that bike somewhere on the net.
  22. Yeah that look like the classic bad ECU caps.
  23. Why do you have a pic of the seat controls. I'm sure your O'reillys jack can lift your car so I assume your using it wrong. The jack points are right under the front and back doors on both sides of the car. Be careful where you place the jack since lots of places under there are not safe jack points.
  24. Yeah I missed the language since we don't generally get that around here.
